with a mechanism that actually is somewhat -- to the city and county of san francisco because this was referenced in 2006. the board deliberated and ultimately adopted. with that said, i think that is a better for worse environmental document. this is accurate to the best available methodology. this is complete. i move that we move item 26 or prove item 26 confirming the certification of the final

environmental impact report and that we table item 27 which would be the item to the reverse. we look for item 28 making findings. i think that perhaps this discussion would have been more interesting if we had the actual project in front of us. that would be my motion. >> this has been seconded. any further discussion? can we take a rollcall vote. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye.

>> aye. there are nine ayes. >> ladies and gentlemen, the eir is finally certified. >> i understand the supervisor dufty would like to recall item 23. if you could please take your conversations outside. thank you. >> on item 23, on going to ask if we could rescind the vote and i would like to make a motion for a one-month continuance.

i would like to make a motion to rescind the vote on this item. >> a motion to rescind which has been seconded. can we do this without objection? the motion passes. >> can i make a motion for a one month continuance of this item to our meeting of october 19th. >> they move and a second. without objection, this will be continued. thank you. we can now go back to general public comment. >> the next item on the agenda is the upper 24 the public to address the board on items within the subject of the board and excluding items which have been voted upon.

if you would like a document to display, please request this. >> first speaker please. >> [speaking foreign language] [speaking foreign language]

good afternoon. i am here and i am very proud to be one of the muslim people who live in this city. islam is peace, islam is love. i am here and i give you love and you'd give me love.

some of you are coming to visit me. some people under your command, they always try to -- me. ladies and gentlemen, i'm will let you know that we have a mosque, our moscow -- our mosque has been taken away from us. this has been called a landmark. you take it from us. our former supervisor has worked with me about that building. i'm going to open that issue again.

we are muslim, we have respect for you. we expect you to give us respect and return this to me. i know that politicians, this is the time to show me that you love each one of us. thank you. >> thank-you, supervisors. public comment should be a full agenda item, don't except the corporate life. there is increased awareness that public money needs to be used for the public benefit and all public resources belong to the public as a whole. it was a supreme court justices said "sunlight is the best disinfectant."

the problem as true today as it was then, how is it possible to predict democracy when money can buy influence and freedom from accountability. the private part of the public- private partnership that has made so many disastrous decisions has no agreement with the city, has been exposed to scrutiny by the board of supervisors. there were allowed to sell the opportunities and no consideration on whether the benefit to public is equal to the cost of public resources. can you imagine the 49 years, the giants, or even san francisco city college licensing naming rights on the basis that some unknown some might be donated even if this is a fraction of their own executive

salaries. the public library does this because they're the most democratic of institutions and in no one on this board cares about how democracy. this is not just to be a conduit for political payoffs. the private philanthropy purchases their influence with pennies. they are taking our most important institutions and destroying them. the public does not even get the money. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> on labor day, the skyscraper man, he climbed one of our buildings. he climbs building is all over the world. [singing]

spider-man, spider-man, climbs a skyscraper the best the can. all the way, there he is. there goes the spider-man in the broadest daylight, he arrives at the highest kind, spider-man, spider-man. he climbs the skyscraper the best he can. through the top, their egos -- there he goes. you will find him climbing a city spider-man everybody would like the city and they want it real good, you

know. i wish you lots of luck and don't you worry about the same thing i will be at your city side all of the time i hope you find better. make it a better city. don't you worry about a city thing don't you worry about a thing i will be at your side all of the time >> thank-you, singing man. next speaker, please. >> i would like to show a picture. a month ago, the systematic

human rights violator and illegitimate president of iran organized a trip for people to come to the country which ignores the truth. while the conference was taking place, thousands of political prisoners were in iran. many were on the verge starvation. many were also on the verge of execution. this was organized by its ruthless murderer mahmoud ahmadinejad and this is against the city and county of san

francisco bonds. the city government must hold as members accountable and must do actions that strengthen the cost of human-rights which are badly needed. the city government mackay's the urgency of the u.n. secretary- general and the city of san francisco must advocate the cause of human rights, not have as public servants go to propaganda conferences. there are more pictures of the event. >> next speaker.

>> i am jesus. it is hard for me to kick against -- >>nepal heard those words, he ws shocked. he was thinking that he was doing god's will. it said that if someone was to turn away from god and to cause others to force a god, then whether it was -- if your mother, your son, your friend, if they entice the secretly to let this go and serve other gods, then you are to have them killed. paul thought he was doing god's will but when he heard those words he was saved.

it is interesting, it says that he preached to christ in the synagogue that he is the son of god but all that hurt him more amazed the became for the intent that he might bring them down. he persuaded them concerning jesus and the law of moses. the old testament was categorized basically in two sections, the law of moses and the process -- profits. these were written down hundreds of years for the happened.

there is no doubt about that. even the last profit was four centuries before jesus. >> thank you. are there any other people that wish to speak? seeing none, please call items 41-53. >> would anyone like to sever any item? >> 46, 47. >> can we take a roll call on the adoption without consideration? >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye.

>> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> the resolutions are adopted. >> item 46, resolution opposing proposition 26, an amendment which requires that certain local fees be approved by 2/3 vote. >> thank you, mr. president. in a similar vein when this body decided to step up and render an opinion on proposition 16, so followed many other city governments throughout the state of california. there was never a bad boy on this upcoming november ballot, it was proposition 26, and i am

concerned is not getting the level of attention that it really does warrant. proposition 26, i just want to remind so people have their attentions divided because there is so much, this was placed on the ballot by the oil, tobacco, and alcohol industries, to stick taxpayers environmental health and safety hazards they caused. proposition 26 would amend the state constitution requiring a simple majority. this would enact this on those to cause pollution throughout. with the holes momiñofjf%9'iin some of these companies do not want to pay for it. of course, this would trickle- down. i am extremely concerned.

there is divided attention on the state ballotnuó, but if proposition 26 goes into effect, a guarantee that cities like san francisco and other cities who are really not noticing that those trying to recover costs are going to be completely flat footed in this, so i asked to pass our opposition to proposition 26. president chiu: any further discussion? colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call? without objection, this resolution is adopted. [gavel] item number 47. secretary: this is urging the

united states department of state to condemn the government of iran for sentencing sakineh mohammadi ashtiani to death by stoning. supervisor mirkarimi not: this e is high profile, and i think it would be negligent if i did not speak to it. let me explain why this case in singled out. it represents a larger defect of how women are not respected in iran and other nations. sakineh was the mother of two sons convicted while married note and sentenced to stoning. she had already received 99

lashes in a separate punishment after a british newspaper ran a picture of an unveiled woman vacantly identified as hers. -- mistakenly identified as hers. -- as her. a woman in iran is considered to have committed a crime punishable by death if she chooses to look for sexual satisfaction outside of an unhappy marriage. in september 2010, the european parliament passed a resolution condemning the iranian government. note that they announced they would suspend the death sentence after issues in europe, but there is no guarantee. this resolution urges the united states department of state to issue strong condemnations against the government for the practice of execution by means of torture and human rights

abuses against women and unequal and inhumane treatment for women under the law, in your support would be appreciated. president chiu: colleagues, unless anyone else would like to comment, could we do this same house, same call? without objection, this resolution is adopted. [gavel] madam clerk, is there any more business in front of this board? secretary: yes, mr. president, this meeting will be adjourned for the late mr. richard

walters on behalf of supervisor dufty and supervisor elsberd for another, and some on behalf of supervisor maxwell, supervisor dufty, supervisor mirkarimi, and on behalf of supervisor chu for others, on behalf of supervisor mirkarimi, these others. and on behalf of president chiu: , these people. on behalf of supervisor els berd, a late judge and other

people. supervisor carmen chu, dufty and maxwell for another, and on behalf of the full board for the victims of the tragedy in san bruno and for the assembly member. president chiu: madam clerk, is there any more business in front of the board? secretary: that includes the business of the day. president chiu: think you, we are adjourned.

>> i have 2 job titles. i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. this building is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of san francisco in 1912.

he didn't have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915, the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not

unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stands 307 feet 6 inches from the ground 40 feet taller than the united states capital. >> you could spend days going around the building and finding something new. the embellishment, the carvings, it represents commerce, navigation, all of the things that san francisco is famous for. >> the wood you see in the

board of supervisor's chambers is oak and all hand carved on site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the seceiling you would believe that's hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. and what
